Nintendo Japanese VC Releases for 2015.04.08

New consoles available and new images depicting what you get on TV and on Wii U Pad. And not a gosh-darned thing for the 3DS VC.

Wii U VC

Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64): ¥1028 (¥370 cart-only, ¥980 complete on Suruga-ya
This feels right. Super Mario 64 is one of those necessary experiences and it is good to see it available on the Wii U.

Yoshi’s Island DS (Nintendo DS): ¥950 (¥910 cart-only, ¥880 complete on Suruga-ya
This was released outside Japan first. The thing is that this game is not "Game on top, data on bottom" but rather a split-screen type situation on the DS which means how playable can this actually be on the Wii U? That has to be an uncomfortable viewing angle.

Getsu Fuuma Den (Famicom): ¥514 (¥800 cart-only on Suruga-ya
This one feels a bit out compared to the others, but it is a beloved classic that has been on the 3DS VC for some time now.
